    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

It is not too hard if you have the right tools. I didn?t.
Once you get the cover off and the stator out of the way, you will need to get the bolt that holds the magnet and clutch on to the crankshaft.
They easiest way is to use a rattle gun or the like.
If you have a shock puller you will need to use it to pull the assembly off the tapered crankshaft.
If you don?t have a shock puller you could try what I did.
I put a small diameter bolt and washer down the centre of the assembly into the hole on the crankshaft, I then wound the swing arm bolt down on to the small bolt while stopping the assembly from moving, I used my leather belt.
It sounds easy but it wasn?t.
Good luck
Cheers
 
The problem is getting the bolt off.Would like to know how to remove bolt.
 
So I am guessing you don?t have a rattle gun.
You can use a socket, breaker bar, piece of pipe and a 4x2 if all else fails.
Cheers
 
I have an impact gun if that what you mean by a rattle gun.Thanks for the information.Where is Aotearoa?
 
Yes I mean an impact gun.;)
Aotearoa is the Maori name for New Zealand.
Cheers
